2.	New Mexico (1975 Remix) 02:58	lyrics	buy track
I can't believe what you said to me, as I send myself off  to climb the white sand of New Mexico. You know I seek solace out there. I wish I could get to know you but I can't get that close. And I guess its not 1963, cause I can't catch the wind I breathe. And I guess its not 1975, though the politics are cruel-- and I can't get that close.
3.	Sad Sap 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Jacque Cousteau and Sylvia Earle  Fisheries whining with lovers quarrel  Inner tube, I'm too fat to get in you  not like that, I'm just floating on without you, both are strong 75' Jaws  and poems about coke and loss. ‘cause I'm a sad sap and you're a...  ‘cause I'm a sad sap and your waves are weeds.
4.	Ochre House 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Rifted up it's the wild west. I don't know what I've been thinking off my meds.  Brick by brick it's a ladder straight to bed. I've been missing all those sacred places to live. Table for two white table cloth is set. I don't know what I've been thinking what you said. Here the chairs aren't sturdy and the cloth is criss crossed in red. So it’s a country house and it seems so wrong I've misplaced your blouse. Now, I've been put in my place. Its the friends you worship whether you deserve it, a warm bed, still and set but you're a baby thats just been born, your legs are shifting and you're uncertain whether you exist. It’s the bitter cold. It’s the icy snow. It’s the chemicals in my brain.
5.	Carney 02:16	lyrics	buy track
I remember last halloween  Oh I wish I had a party: I would dress like Leon Russell, from his old album, Carney. I remember last halloween  Oh I wish I had a party:  I would dress like Marilyn Manson   and not look in the mirror.
6.	Blackfish 05:31	lyrics	buy track
Leach Hanging off of me  Flick it to the street  Crush between my toes  Bloody that is me You got me beached  I'm taken like a stray--  Oh what a bummer  Summer hunger ‘Cause I'm that black fish swimming around killing what keeps it from dying young  And I'm that carnival clown They say up on a tight wire One side is ice another is fire  I don't know what you singers say I guess that means you're talking about the gray Bait  Full circle back to me  Looks like I've been seized  Abused like cigarettes   Self conflicted bet You got me beached  I'm taken like a stray  Oh what a bummer  Summer hunger Oh what a beach bum  I have become   Between you and me  Like an inside joke from "Carney" What a beach bum bumpkin.

9.	Down Tide 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Surfs up, but I've never been told  about the danger of what's beneath the undertow It’s like a pot of gold--  like surfing that I've never done Brian and I talked about self esteem  Just like me and strangers talk about what russell sings our faces feeling ochre  I think I must be older collectors edge but I'm not so quick  All the old ladies with their satchels picking up them Like surfing down a river  Feeling orange almost citrus ‘Cause it’s all down tide  and I think I found some down time

11.	Amity 05:53	lyrics	buy track
Always cool to complain  But it's fine, not insane  Mr. Dead and Mrs. None  Internet doctor that I caught Living of a little mime  Open up your mouth and say  Keep your eagerness in mind  Some say forgiveness is a little lame, I don't feel like complete Amity  The police aren't here   Scientists like those 50's moms left home to work all day Fishermen doing their job  Listening to the 70's sob  Thinking will make you sad  Gotta feel like you have
